Since its inception, Sky has transformed the way sports are told, in information and entertainment, but it has also introduced many small and large innovations that have revolutionized the viewing experience of millions of families. Today, with the launch of Sky Glass, Sky once again reinvents the way of experiencing TV and writes a new page in its history. Sky Glass is much more than a television (HOW IT WORKS). It is in fact the first platform to fully integrate content: from those of the main national free-to-air channels to those of global players such as Netflix, Disney +, Prime Video, Dazn, in addition to those of the Sky offer. Today, people have to navigate between different offers and often fail to have their favorite content at their fingertips. The streaming revolution has indeed given infinite possibilities of choice, but it has also complicated people’s lives: apps are not connected to each other, experiences are fragmented and we often end up spending more time looking for content than enjoying it. Sky Glass was created precisely to simplify this complexity, for example for Sky subscribers just say “Hello Sky” and say the name of your favorite actor to see all his films available in the Sky catalogs and the various apps appear on the screen.
What is Sky Glass
Sky Glass is a technologically advanced device that combines functionality and beauty. Inside it integrates a Dolby Atmos® soundbar for fabulous sound and a 4K Ultra HD Quantum Dot screen capable of displaying over 1 billion colors. It is available in 3 different formats, the most sought after, and 5 colors and its design is created to best adapt to the personal style of each and every room in the house. Sky Glass is within everyone’s reach and can only be purchased together with the Sky “Entertainment Plus” subscription – which includes Sky TV plus Netflix – even with the convenience of paying in monthly installments. It is also a product in line with Sky’s commitment to protecting the environment, being the first TV in the world certified CarbonNeutral® by Climate Impact Partners. The launch of Sky Glass completes Sky’s commercial proposition. From today, in fact, the portfolio of products and pay TV solutions – Now, Sky Q, Sky Glass – is truly complete and able to satisfy all the different ways of experiencing entertainment. To all this is added Sky Wifi, the fastest landline network in Italy according to Ookla®. Andrea Duilio, CEO of Sky Italia, comments: “There are moments that mark a real turning point and the launch of Sky Glass is one of them. The streaming revolution has ushered in a golden age for content but has also made life more complicated for people who often spend more time searching for a show than enjoying it. Sky Glass was created to simplify all this and offer a simple and satisfying viewing experience. It is the first TV in the world certified Carbon Neutral and best represents the technological innovation capacity of the Sky group and Comcast. Sky Glass is the TV that wasn’t there.
